FARM NOTES HINTS FROM NATURE FOR THE! Heart or Hens AND THEIR Eas -1t is an old experience of mine that eges ranking highest in vitality come | from fowls which roam over an unlim- | ited range, and, outside of clean and | insect free quarters, are giveu the least amount of care, and but little food (or none during the summer) besides what | they find on their foraging expeditions, The demands of the ezg. mill for raw | material keep the bird active and in | good health, and prevent the injurious accumulation of fat. Fresh eggs from fowls thus kept, if properly packed in bran or saw-dust, give a good chance to hateh even after a journey clear across the continent, The breeder who surrounds his flock with conditions similar to those found in nature, who scorns the use of artificial methods and feeds, will hear very hittle complaint of poor ‘hatches,’ or of chicks such as a heavy dew, a light rain ora hot sun | can kill THe manner in which corn 1s har- vested varies greatly in different parts | the country. In a few sections the | leaves below the ears are first sir ped | olf while green, and tucked in small | handfuls between the stalks of a hill dry, when they are gathered and bound into large bunches and stored away, making a small amount of the possible corn fodder, Afterward e tops are cut off just above the ears cuted in small shocks, leaving the | stalks standing to support and | ripen the ears. Where this topping is cone before the ear 18 well out of the | milk aud the gran has hardened it | must to some extent rob the latter of | nourishment, of which at this period a large proportion comes from the sap in the top, OL to » est ana bare THE most general and the better plan is to cut the stalks later on alittle above the ground, and stand them up in shocks to cure. In this way the whole of the fodder is secured, and the | grain gets the benefit of the sap already in the stalk, besides absorbing addi- tional matter from the atmosphere, From eighty to one hundred hilis may be put in a shock, which should be tied | around with coarse twine two-thirds of the way from the ground to prevent the loose 8'alks from being blown about by the wind. Threshing the stalks to gather the grain has been advocated In some quarters, but as yet has not be- come at all common, A RECENT experiment in [feeding | hogs on a mixed diet showed thata! pound of dressed pork cost 5.42¢., but the value of the manure left over was 2.27c., or nearly one-half the cost of | the food. The value of skim milk when used as a part of the allowance for hug is 1.8 cents per galion. Heavy bogs do not sell as readily as do those f medium weight, A J00-pound bog is better fitted for the lard-tudb than for the table, Small hogs are always pre ferred, those weighing about 130 pounds each producing a better quality of meat than those that are heavier, TEE uncovered great breeder of flies and vear a house.

It is better far to avoid both evils by covering manure piles as juickly as made with fresh earth which s an effective absorbent 1 de ana er, manure pile al #3 nuisance also ba ob- aspect, i 3 ld ii Thur scareity of Tg in the fall is ften the cause of great losses to far- mers, mainly because it tempts them pasture youug clover, This is the dearest of all feeds. A clover plant sropped in August or September has its growth so checked that it cannot stand the winter, and will not grow so vigor- ously next spring. It is better to buy grain for cows, and feed pretty liberally of the growing corn-pop, rather than turn stock ou young clover. to i LOOK to the winter shsiter now, The more exposed the animal during sold weather the more food required. | All the warmth of the body must | come from the food, and no animal can | fatten except on the food left over from that required for bodily warmth. Shelter is equivalent to food in that | respect, and the more comfortable the stock the lower the cost and the grealer the gain. SWEET cream and sour cream when churned together will not produce good butter, yet it is safe to say that a large majority of farmers’ wives hold the cream for a wesk In order to collect a sufficient quantity for a churning. This matter of saving cream is what throws #o much inferior butter on the market, When churning 1s done it is best to bave the whole of the cream of the same quality. Now that the animals are becoming free of the torments of iusects they will fatten readily, and will gain much faster In weight than in winter, Feed them liberally and get them as far ahead as possible before cold weather comes on, as it can be done at less cost at this season than later on. Matured stock should be fattened and got out of the way ealry, in order to make room for the growing animals. Tue eolor of butter 1s largely in- fluenced by the breed and the food, but butter color is not objectionable if made of a harmless substance. It deceives the purchase, however, #8 many pur- chasers buy butter because of its yel. low color who would not buy it if the butter were sent to market as original. ly made, snd uncolored, on the farm, Or the different kinds of hay clover is conceded to be the best, as it is well balanced in these elements necessary for growth and production. No food is complete; but, bowever, where clove: is fed liberally and s moderate silow ance of grain is added the the results are usually satisfactory, provided go! quarters are lowed and the rsniten conditions compl el will, lading ele yet comforta- “le homes Health and happiness were found in them, ‘The best of the sin. ile remedies used are given othe world in Warner's Log Cabin Remedies mado ‘ure fame.
